This is a Game Jam project in which I played the role of a leader. Throughout this project I managed to improve my decision-making skills, aiding my team in understanding the game mechanics and efficiently working within the time constraints. I also work on the level design in which we use a piece of cardboard to make the design and then implemented on the game. Additionally, I created sketches for the UI design and player to prevent the artist from being overloaded.

Team Management
Here, I worked as part of the team management and level design. In team management, our goal is to ensure that every task is completed efficiently. As for level design, I was responsible for the third level. This level is designed to present a challenge to players unfamiliar with gaming, yet it needed to be easy to complete. To achieve this, I incorporated matching colored buttons and platforms. When a player steps on the button it triggers the corresponding color matching platform.
During this internship, we developed a game to show prospective students what they can learn in the Bachelor's program for Design and Develop of Video Games at the Inter-American University.
